I call references consistently. Its good to get a sense of what some of the negative and positive perceptions of the person interviewing. I don't necessarily consider a negative point from a reference a deal breaker, a negative for one manager, is not the same for another. I do feel its better to go into the relationship with your eyes open.

Not sure how much precedents matter in small claims. It usually boils down to how the judge feels about the issue.

Highly doubt there will be any legal action :/
